Pet Groomers in Irvine

“I've been going to this clinic for a year with my senior kitties.

General info:
Appointment costs are reasonable if not a bit cheaper than surrounding clinics, which is great.
The clinic is busy, but they're always able to get you in for a sudden appointment if necessary, which I'm grateful for at times when my pets had concerning health issues arise. They always try to accommodate you. There are many vets at the clinic (I've met with at least 4-5), so you'll likely visit different vets each time unless your pet has a health issue, which means you'll see the same vet until it's resolved.
Everyone is friendly and lovely and you don't feel rushed when you have an appointment. *Note: We are the voice for our pets health, so still, make sure you ask all the questions and do whatever you need for your pet, including following up on results for tests, etc.
Because all these vets come from different backgrounds, at this clinic, I've experienced different consultations: vets with firm beliefs and who make immediate diagnoses and vets who advocate doing your own research (which i appreciate) and who consider any and all options before confirming anything. My experiences with most of the vets have been pleasant, but these differences naturally have us inclined toward favoring some vets at the practice more than others.

Personal story:
First, it was an annual exam, then it was my calico's unfortunate diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Later, my tuxedo kitty was suffering from her mouth and because they didn't have any immediate dental care openings, they insisted upon her being checked by a dental specialist at a specialist clinic and we found she had terminal cancer. I'm grateful they did not make us wait. Her loss hurts us still to this day, but this clinic was very sweet in sending a card with their condolences.

Dr. E:
My calico got pancreatitis soon after that ordeal and she was seen by Dr. E, who is kind, very informative, and dare I say, our favorite vet at the practice. My calico was sent to an internal medicine doctor for specialist care, but despite this and some continued struggles, Dr. E was always thinking of ways to help when we needed it and always patiently answering and clarifying our many, many questions. Since working with Dr. E on maintainance care, our calico has gained weight and is doing very well, even when her chronic kidney disease has slightly progressed. What really helped her get out of lasting pancreatitis symptoms by the end was B12 injections Dr. E prescribed. Due to our many positive experiences with her, we continue to ask for Dr. E and highly recommend her.

In conclusion:
We've gone to this clinic so many times in the course of a year, and every time, the receptionists, vet techs, and vets have been wonderful to our cats and the prices of anything and everything have been fairly decent (highly recommend pet insurance with senior pets though). I would recommend this place for your pet's medical care, especially with Dr. E. and Dr. Roberts.

“Always love the result of our Mika’s groom and at a reasonable price. Definitely trust our Mika is in good hands at Oops Spa!“

“Always the best experience with the entire team at Camino Pet Hospital. I have taken my animals there for 17 years plus.“

“We brought our two Maltese mix puppies in for their first haircut and couldn’t be happier. The appointment went so smoothly from check-in to pickup. Everyone was so gentle and kind with the dogs, and I was amazed at how calm and happy all the pups were. It really feels like they have a magic touch. I also love that the grooming area is visible so you can see how caring they are. Thank you, Dream Pet Grooming! We’re so happy we found such a cute place and look forward to coming back every six weeks.“

“Blue and Biscuit had a great vet check up! Blue just had her routine vet checkup and Biscuit had her second round of shots. The staff is super friendly and I’ve been going here for years. ???“

“Franke is my dogs groomer. He does an awesome job. Her whole demeanor changes because she knows she looks good and smells good. Thanks again Franke“

“This clinic in Irvine is not just friendly. The Veterinarians are extremely knowledgeable. They explain your animal’s health issues I’d detail. I really appreciate the time they spend with you & your pet. They never rush the visits. I’m very thankful to have them and so is my dog. 5 stars at least?‍?“

“Having moved several times I appreciate that finding a cat groomer can be a challenge and I'm grateful to have found a great one on the first try. I brought our long-haired cat in for a lion cut and they did an excellent job. They called to double-check exactly how I wanted the cut done before starting and let me know about some dry skin they found. Overall great communication and service. Pricing seemed consistent with other groomers I've used. I'm sure we'll be back with our cat and I will likely bring our dog in as well.“

“This review is for Valerie:
She is so amazing, professional and sweet, every-time I take my little Yorkie to her I feel so comfortable because my dog loves her and I sense how relaxed she is. The haircut is all the time so beautiful and exactly what I ask. Also, she always surprises me with the cute bandannas around my baby’s neck. Thanks Valerie! ???“

“Update: Practice was sold to VCA and things changed. Camino Pet Hospital has been taking excellent care of my pets for several years now.

Dr. Dave has taken excellent care of my pets, both dogs and cats, for many years now. Most caring vet I've ever been to - when one of my dogs had to have surgery years ago and needed careful monitoring afterwards, he took him home with him overnight. You won't find a better vet or a friendlier staff anywhere.“
